Abstract

In-band full-duplex transceivers are considered for future generations of cellular network systems. This paper proposes to evaluate the performance of in-band full-duplex transceivers using a modified architecture based on hardware available for multiple-input multiple-output transceivers. A hybrid self-interference cancellation technique using an auxiliary transmitter is therefore introduced. Performance is evaluated using simulation models and is confirmed by hardware experimentation. The main limiting factors of the proposed architecture are analyzed and improvements to the architecture are then suggested.
